US Capitol Building, Washington, DC, 2021.

@mattblaze@federate.social No lightning though.

This was captured with the Rodenstock 90mm/5.6 HR-Digaron lens (@ f/6.3) and about 10mm of vertical shift to maintain geometry.

For years ago today, a group of insurrectionist losers sacked this building in an attempt to overthrow the US Government and prevent the transfer of power to a newly elected president. They got frighteningly close to succeeding.

This photo was made about six months later; some of the physical damage from the attack remains visible here.
